Morphology
The meaning 'a written or broadcast article reporting recent events' is directly and compositionally derived from 'news' (media-reported information) + 'story' (a narrative of events). This noun–noun compound follows a common, cross-linguistically familiar pattern, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
News story joins news, meaning new events, and story, meaning a short 'telling'. Reporters gathered recent facts and told them like a short 'story' so people could understand. So news story means a written or spoken report of recent events.
